Tapping 7th Chord Arpeggios like Guthrie Govan
Mike Salow
Hello again guys! In this tutorial we'll be discussing tapped arpeggios ala Guthrie Govan. Tapping 7th chord arpeggios this way can give your line a very unique sound. Keep in mind that all of these arpeggios are being played in 3rd inversion with the 7th of the arpeggio being played first. For example a Cmaj7 has C - E - G - B but in 3rd inversion looks like this B - C - E - G. This is how we'll play our arpeggios for this tutorial. Make sense? Good! :) Enjoy!
